1. With a pencil, measure halfway down your length of plywood, and halfway across the width of your plywood. Then draw a line all the way across and down, to section your plywood into quarters.

2.Take a piece of poster-board, or a large sheet of paper, and cut the shape of your frame. Trace the shape onto one quarter, then rotate and flip the poster-board, and trace the shape onto all four quadrants of your plywood.

3. Cut the whole thing out with a jig saw.Do your best to cut straight lines.

4. Sand the edges till they’re all smooth.
